Hello all, I just purchased my first GMC last week. 1978 Royale rear twin and had a good trip back to Iowa from Wyoming (850 mi) with no issues. So now I have been going over everything and have found a few things that need attention and would appreciate any advice all you experts can give me.
the first is I have a split cv boot on the drivers side, cv joint not making any noise yet.
Is it best to R & R it with a rebuilt axle or try to remove old boot and replace with new boot.
How time consuming and challenging is this job for a newbie?
I see that some have used the split boot option with good and bad results.any opinions on this?
question #2 - It has a 4 bag rear suspension, Leigh Harrison 1999 (I think) and the bag pressure is 110 psi on the driver side and 100 psi on the pass. side. does this sound normal for this system? it seems high to me, and do you adjust the pressure at the air compressor? it's at 112 psi
any info is greatly appreciated.
thanks, Joe
